"Digital Designer albums for the modern Bride"

Norman Phillips clients are familiar with his “Day in the Life” Coffee Table Books that have created a sensation and continue to get expressions such as “amazing”, “emotional”, “wonderful” and almost every other complementary expression of praise. We continue the Norman Phillips tradition of creative photographic excellence and produce albums that are in the coffee table style and as it is said, “knock your socks off”.

We will exclusively capture your wedding or Bar/Bat Mitzvah event with state of the art digital equipment. Our unique album design software creates the most exciting and beautiful albums you will ever see. Your album will be the envy of your friends.

Both Norman and Dick direct and control the photography to insure that each and every one of our hand picked photographers produce results equal to the best available in wedding and event photography

OUR COMMITMENT
Our commitment to our wedding couples and their families is to produce a sequence of images that tell the story of the most important day of their lives. We accept the responsibility entrusted to us to produce the only real thing left after your celebration other than each other and the rings on your fingers; your wedding photographs.

We are sure that the celebration will be exciting, the food and champagne wonderful, the music great and the flowers simply beautiful. Yet without the very best photography it all becomes a fading memory that becomes harder to describe as the weeks, months and years pass. It is why what we do is so important to you.

Norman Phillips of London Photography has been a leading light in wedding photography since 1983. We have never sought to be the most prolific of wedding studios but to be the best and to be different. We have rarely accepted more than 20 wedding contracts in a single year. Additionally, we will not accept more than one wedding assignment on any given date. You could say that we are a little exclusive as 85% of our weddings are from referrals, which is the best recommendation we could have.

We proudly can boast perhaps more awards than any other studio in our market which covers all of Chicago and most of its suburbs.

OUR STYLE
What style do we use for our wedding photography is one of the most common questions. We combine a variety of styles that are most appropriate for your wedding and your personal choice. However, we believe that combining photojournalism, casual and traditional makes a delightful mix and a true story of your wedding day. A bride is a queen for a day and possibly more beautiful than at any other time of her life. Her fiancée will be in great anticipation of this great moment. It would be inexcusable for us to not capture in all her majesty.

At every wedding we are expected to produce beautiful portraits of all the most important people, bride, groom, maids, groomsmen and family. These are commonly called formals, but our style is relaxed and you will never feel that you have been "posed". We want you to have fun and enjoy these sessions which are very quick and smooth.

We are alert so as not to miss the opportunity to "grab" the special moments that simply just happen. All this is possible because we have a assistant with us at your wedding. The assistant makes it possible for us to work quickly, add to the natural or artificial lighting and generally make our photographs that much more superior.

PROOFING
We are always excited to show you the result of our photography via a digitally projected presentation. There is nothing quite like the excitement of the story of your wedding day or the recreation of your bar/bat mitzvah on our screen. We will also be pleased to have your family and guests see your event online and they will also be able to obtain prints without having to ask you to place an order for them.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Norman Phillips is the recipient of some wedding photography’s most prestigious awards and has earned a reputation for some of the most creative albums. Both are committed to provide you with the ultimate in wedding photography and album design.

Your photographer will be highly qualified through intense training program, which is directed by Norman and Bill. We require our photographers to be the best because our reputation is on the line and our name is on your album. In some instances either Norman or Bill will be your photographer.

YOUR CHOICE AND THE PRICE
We offer a range of services and albums that is unmatched for choice and flexibility. These include the GraphiStudio magazine stylebooks, the Coffee Table style and our Contemporary Design Albums and we are always seeking additional choices to offer to you.

Prices vary according to your choice and how you wish to “package” your services. We are able to offer you the very best in photography for as low as $4,400 and in some case a little less.

Please call us on (847) 433-8298 so we may learn of you wishes and see how we may be able to serve you.

ALBUMS
We are famous for our album designs and our album binder carries samples of our albums around the country to show how creative albums can be.

Now that we are technologically set in the computer age we can design an album for you and show it to you in our wedding consultation room. Creativity and pizzazz is what it is all about now and we continue to explore new ideas.

Typically, albums leave our studio with at least 120 pictures and many times they have over 175 pictures. In fact the most popular album is our Master Selection in which we design a book with 175 - 200 images. Why so many? It is simply that the way we photograph your wedding creates a picture story that is irresistible.

To give you an idea please see a sample of 120 photographs that has been selected from the more than 500 taken at that wedding.
